The Panthers re-signed the safety on a three-year deal, but questions remain
Panthers safety Eric Reid said his collusion grievance against the NFL is ongoing, as is that of former San Francisco 49ers teammate Colin Kaepernick, and he believes his new three-year deal will strengthen his case.

Not being in a position physically to be able to make the throws that you know you're capable of making, that was the disheartening thing of the whole year.''
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on Thursday launched The Cam Newton YouTube channel to provide a behind-the-scenes look into his life.
